Spectators: 7751 (Terracing: 5815, Seating: 1782, VIP seats: 154) The mood of the audience was pleasant when William Vallin made the kick off which started today's match. After some careless play in the The Mongols defense, Kuzman Tzankov kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Arvin Björkman. The The Mongols fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Arvin Björkman should have stopped the shot. Kasper Schmeichel made a fantastic save in the 10th minute, when Bernt Fredriksson sent off a good shot on target. Kasper Schmeichel was a little too slow when Bernt Fredriksson got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 12th minute. The score was now 1-1. In the 26th minute the ball was on its way in behind ПАРТИЗАН Червен бряг's goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 31 minutes into the match, ПАРТИЗАН Червен бряг's goal looked a bit too open when William Vallin came free, but Kasper Schmeichel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Gunde Svan's late challenge caught a ПАРТИЗАН Червен бряг's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gunde Svan helped the player get up and apologised. After 35 played minutes The Mongols got a freekick which was hit by Gunde Svan. Bernt Fredriksson's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 39thth minute, Kasper Schmeichel skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal.

The wind increased when Miho Rankov made the kick off in the second half. Kasper Schmeichel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bernt Fredriksson in the 52nd minute of play. The supporters of ПАРТИЗАН Червен бряг booed when The Mongols was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Folke Deckbergh didn't get a good kick on the ball. Fredric Hökkvist charged in rather forcefully in the 57th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Fredric Hökkvist the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 57th minute, Fredric Hökkvist hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. ПАРТИЗАН Червен бряг's Kasper Schmeichel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by William Vallin in the 59th minute of play. When The Mongols's Bernt Fredriksson in the 60th minute got a chance for a shot 60th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye ПАРТИЗАН Червен бряг's goalie prevented a goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by William Vallin in the 61st minute of play forced ПАРТИЗАН Червен бряг's goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When William Vallin fell near the penalty area in the 64th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored The Mongols's protests and gave William Vallin a yellow card for diving instead. The Mongols made a substitution. Torsten Säv replaced William Vallin. The Mongols's Bernt Fredriksson got a good chance for a goal in the 73rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a rather tough play, The Mongols's César Pinheiro got a free kick in the 78th minute. When Bernt Fredriksson came up free with the goalie in the 81st minute, the The Mongols fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Bernt Fredriksson couldn't finish the play. Johan Sjöberg kicked well hit freekick during the 89th minute of the match. In the 92nd minute of the match, Luca Modrić tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Arvin Björkman saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Torsten Säv sent away a hard shot on goal in the 97th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
